JESUS CHRIST IS THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS: READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW
[IN PIDGIN ENGLISH] Some people marry wahala (whether male or female) but that wahala no fit ever pass wetin God fit handle. "WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST."
CHRIST - "JESUS CHRIST"
MAS - "ABBREVIATION FOR THE MASSES"
Christmas is celebrated by Christ's masses that is those who are "poor in spirit" (whether they are physically rich or physically poor). So be "poor in spirit" to celebrate Christmas as a good Christian.
Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Christmas day is the day assigned/mapped out to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ into the world through Virging Mary and God, the Holy Spirit.
John 1:14 "The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw His glory, the glory which He received as the Father's only Son."
John 1: 1-2 "In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. From the very beginning the Word was with God."
"Jesus Christ (the reason why we celebrate "Christmas") is the Word."
Jesus Christ is the reason why we make merry (that is, celebrate) during Christmas because that day is specially mapped out for Him. That day (December 25th of every year) is the day we celebrate as the three wise men did with gold, frankincense and myrrh. Christmas day (December 25th of every year) is the day we celebrate as the great army of Heaven's angels did alongside the angel of Jesus Christ (God, the Son) who appeared to some shepherds to announce that Jesus Christ has been born. The birth of Jesus Christ has brought great glory to the highest heaven and at the same time, the birth of Jesus Christ has brought peace on earth to all those with whom Jesus Christ is pleased! Anyone whom Jesus Christ looks upon and says, "This is my beloved son/daughter with whom I am well pleased", then, that person (male or female) deserves to celebrate Christmas with all the merry good things in the world. On the day that Jesus Christ was born, Heaven and earth celebrated; so why are you too big to celebrate Christmas. Christmas is a big celebration for all good Christians for we are all "poor in spirit" so we enjoy peace while on this earth (in this world) from the Prince of Peace who is our Lord Jesus Christ and we will get to enjoy great glory in Heaven after our physical death on this earth (in this world).
"Christmas is surely worth celebrating."
So, "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL WHO LOVE AND BELIEVE IN OUR LORD AND MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST." Enjoy the joy and peace that Jesus Christ brings on that day of Christmas among all the issues of life that we have been facing. Make sure to celebrate Christmas (the birth of Jesus Christ) every other day too. "MEERY CHRISTMAS TO YOU." These shepherds whom the angel of Jesus Christ appeared to were working night shift to take care of their own flocks of sheep in the part of the country where Jesus Christ was born. At that time, Galilee was a city in Jerusalem just like Judea was a city in Jerusalem. Also, Nazareth was a town in Galilee just like Bethlehem was a town in Judea. Joseph had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem (that is, from Galilee to Judea) which was his place of origin as a descendant of King David to register himself and Mary His pregnant wife (who was almost due to give birth) in order to partake in the Census as good citizens of the Roman Empire. This travel was because Emperor Augustus issued an order for the whole of the Roman Empire to be counted. The first time this kind of large Census took place was at the time that Quirinius was the governor of Syria and everyone went to his/her own town to register for the census (counting of physically living human beings) so they continued in that format/way for their census.
King David was also born in Judea and Joseph was a descendant of King David so he took his wife Mary there for them to be counted in the Census taking place back then. The normal place where people gave birth in those days was "the inn" just like it is normal for pregnant women to give birth in "the hospital" nowadays. But there was no space for Mary to give birth to her first child in the inn (meaning that she had never given birth to any child before the birth of Jesus Christ and so Child-bearing/child labour was very new to her) so she had to give birth to "JESUS CHRIST" in the manger then wrapped him with pieces of cloths (that is, strips of cloths) to cover his nakedness and then laid in the manger.
When the angel of Jesus Christ appeared to those shepherds who were working night shift in Bethlehem town in Judea, the glory of God the Father (the Lord) shone bright from Heaven on them so much so that they became afraid and the angel of Jesus Christ calmed them down saying that they should not have fear because it is good news that he has brought to them. The good news of the birth of Jesus Christ will bring great joy to all the people. Jesus is our saviour and He was born as Christ the Lord! The signs on how to identify infant baby Jesus Christ was that: (1) He was wrapped in pieces of cloths (2) He was laid in the manger.
After the great army of angels had gone back into Heaven, the good shepherds advised each other to go and see what was happening in the town where they were working (Bethlehem town). Whatever the angel of Jesus Christ tells anyone is the same as what Jesus Christ will tell you because the angel of Jesus Christ follows His instructions. They hurried up and saw Mary, Joseph and the child Jesus and they told Mary and Joseph exactly all the angel of Jesus Christ said about Him that: (i) Jesus is our Saviour (ii) Jesus is Christ the Lord! (iii) Jesus birth is a good news that will bring joy to everyone. Then the army of angels also told the shepherds that: "Jesus birth in itself brought glory to Heaven and peace to earth."
Many other people were at the manger too when the shepherds got there and they were surprised at the kind of things that the shepherds said about the baby Jesus. Virgin Mary remembered these things that they said and thought about it very much. The shepherds heard from the angel of Jesus Christ and also from the great army of Heaven's angels before they went to the manger to see all that they have been told on that same day; and there saw the baby Jesus just the way they were told that they will see Him. Angels appeared to them and they also saw these angels go back into Heaven and all those that these shepherds saw and heard made them to sing praises to God as they went back to their place of work (their workplace was some fields in Bethlehem town of Judea City). "THE OTHER NAME FOR BETHLEHEM IS DAVID'S TOWN."
So, you can burn in hell fire if you don't accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah (the beginning and the end; the first and the last).
NOTE THAT:
(A) They said this to each other even if they were already in Bethlehem because the area were Jesus Christ was born was the main part of Bethlehem where human beings were; for they were in the bushy fields of Bethlehem in Judea: "LET'S GO TO BETHLEHEM AND SEE THIS THING AND SEE THIS THING THAT HAS HAPPENED, WHICH THE LORD HAS TOLD US."
(B) The angel of Jesus Christ does not lie and the good shepherds has already testified to this truth.
JOIN THE GREAT ARMY OF HEAVEN'S ANGELS AND SAY THIS (SING IT IF YOU WANT):
"GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST HEAVEN, AND PEACE ON EARTH TO THOSE WITH WHOM HE IS PLEASED!"
ACCORDING TO LUKE 2: 1-20
AT THAT TIME THE EMPEROR AUGUSTUS ORDERED A CENSUS TO BE TAKEN THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE. WHEN THIS FIRST CENSUS TOOK PLACE, QUIRINIUS WAS THE GOVERNOR OF SYRIA. EVERYONE, THEN, WENT TO REGISTER HIMSELF, EACH TO HIS OWN TOWN. JOSEPH WENT FROM THE TOWN OF NAZARETH IN GALILEE TO THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM IN JUDEA, THE BIRTHPLACE OF KING DAVID. JOSEPH WENT THERE BECAUSE HE WAS A DESCENDANT OF DAVID. HE WENT TO REGISTER WITH MARY, WHO WAS PROMISED IN MARRIAGE TO HIM. SHE WAS PREGNANT, AND WHILE THEY WERE IN BETHLEHEM, THE TIME CAME FOR HER TO HAVE HER BABY. SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER FIRST SON, WRAPPED HIM IN STRIPS OF CLOTH AND LAID HIM IN A MANGER - THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THEM TO STAY IN THE INN. THERE WERE SOME SHEPHERDS IN THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY WHO WERE SPENDING THE NIGHT IN THE FIELDS, TAKING CARE OF THEIR FLOCKS. AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE OVER THEM. THEY WERE TERRIBLY AFRAID, BUT THE ANGEL SAID TO THEM, "DON'T BE AFRAID! I AM HERE WITH GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, WHICH WILL BRING GREAT JOY TO ALL THE PEOPLE. THIS VERY DAY IN DAVID'S TOWN YOUR SAVIOUR WAS BORN - CHRIST THE LORD! AND THIS IS WHAT WILL PROVE IT TO YOU: YOU WILL FIND A BABY WRAPPED IN STRIPS OF CLOTH AND LYING IN A MANGER." SUDDENLY A GREAT ARMY OF HEAVEN'S ANGELS APPEARED WITH THE ANGEL, SINGING PRAISES TO GOD: " GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST HEAVEN, AND PEACE ON EARTH TO THOSE WITH WHOM HE IS PLEASED!" WHEN THE ANGELS WENT AWAY FROM THEM BACK INTO HEAVEN, THE SHEPHERDS SAID TO ONE ANOTHER, "LET'S GO TO BETHLEHEM AND SEE THIS THING THAT HAS HAPPENED, WHICH THE LORD HAS TOLD US." SO THEY HURRIED OFF AND FOUND MARY AND JOSEPH AND SAW THE BABY LYING IN THE MANGER. WHEN THE SHEPHERDS SAW HIM, THEY TOLD THEM WHAT THE ANGEL HAD SAID ABOUT THE CHILD. ALL WHO HEARD IT WERE AMAZED AT WHAT THE SHEPHERDS SAID. MARY REMEMBERED ALL THESE THINGS AND THOUGHT DEEPLY ABOUT THEM. THE SHEPHERDS WENT BACK, SINGING PRAISES TO GOD FOR ALL THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN; IT HAD BEEN JUST AS THE ANGEL HAD TOLD THEM.
